K-12 school districts across the US are becoming increasingly targeted by cybercriminals. They are a prime vector of attack due to the large amount of sensitive data available in the form of staff and student personally identifiable information (PII), a particularly attractive target. Education currently tops the list of “most attacked” industries not only due to the prized PII data but also the ease at which it is to acquire since most educational institutions have IT departments that are frequently understaffed and always overworked when it comes to Cybersecurity support personnel; this is combined, in many cases, with a lack of key technology tools to combat the bad actors...

Ransomware continues to be one of the fastest growing cybersecurity threats faced by SMBs globally. The complexity of those ransomware attacks are also accelerating faster than industry experts previously predicted, with global damages expected to surpass $30 billion by 2023. What is allowing ransomware gangs, like Hive, AlphV, and the remnants of the notorious Conti gang, to continue to exploit victims at an alarming pace is the significant number of vulnerabilities hidden within the networks of the majority of SMBs.
"'as reliance on the cloud increases, attackers have homed in on different entryways to cloud-based networks.' Cybercriminals now also target unpatched or software vulnerabilities to extract data, with a recent increase on Linux operating systems and managed service providers (MSPs) and their network of SMB customers." https://hubs.la/Q01mSkjb0
The best defense against ransomware is prevention. In order to take a proactive approach, it is imperative for companies to have complete visibility of their entire infrastructure. You cannot protect what you cannot see. Managed eXtended Detection and Response, MXDR, from Securus360 offers total visibility to threats across your infrastructure in real-time, utilizing a combination of AI, machine learning, and human intelligence to create a high-speed, high-touch cyber defense solution that proactively hunts, detects, and neutralizes threats, like ransomware, before they can impact your business.

Ransomware isn’t the only cybersecurity threat these days...Data Exfiltration is an even bigger problem that can lead to more insidious cyber attacks in the future and it's growing fast! Allowing cybercriminals to acquire sensitive information and/or data is like giving these bad actors a "key to the safe". A ransomware attack can be "resolved" by paying the ransom or retrieving backups, but a Data Exfiltration attack is a greater risk to companies because leaked information can become a long term, costly nightmare that literally put a company out of business.
"Instead, attackers on an information exfiltration mission will move vast amounts of proprietary data to systems that they control. And here's the game: attackers will proceed to extort the victim, threatening to release that confidential information into the wild or to sell it to unscrupulous third parties." https://hubs.la/Q01mNRmH0
The good news is that proactive measures are available to combat and win against advanced data exfiltration attacks. Protection from all cyber threats starts with obtaining complete visibility into your organization's technology infrastructure. Managed eXtended Detection & Response, MXDR, is an all-inclusive network security monitoring solution that offers the industry’s most effective, fully integrated platform that delivers threat visibility across your entire infrastructure; endpoints, servers, network, cloud instances, and end-user behavior, all on a single pane of glass. Securus360's MXDR utilizes a combination of AI, machine learning, and human intelligence to create a high-speed, high-touch cyber defense solution that proactively hunts, detects, and neutralizes cyber threats before they can impact your business.

School districts are being increasingly targeted by the Vice Society ransomware group, and the FBI, CISA and MS-ISAC are now warning school districts to be on alert. Cybercriminals are targeting the education sector, mainly K-12 institutions, at a much higher rate than other industries as criminals have identified opportunities for more successful attacks due to the abundance of sensitive student, teacher and other personal data available. Coupled with the fact that most school district's lack adequate cybersecurity personnel and technical resources, make the K-12 space very attractive to bad actors.
"The FBI, CISA, and the MS-ISAC have recently observed Vice Society actors disproportionately targeting the education sector with ransomware attacks," today's joint advisory reads. They also "anticipate attacks may increase as the 2022/2023 school year begins and criminal ransomware groups perceive opportunities for successful attacks."
These cyberattacks have severe consequences ranging from restricted access to networks and data, causing delays to instruction and school days to data theft including student and staff personal information. This week, the second largest school district in the U.S., Los Angeles Unified School District, became a victim of a ransomware attack, causing an outage of critical IT systems within their network. These threats are a real and present danger. Without adequate cybersecurity protection, K-12 organizations are prime targets for future cyberattacks and exploitation.
Your protection starts with Securus360. Managed eXtended Detection and Response from Securus360 offers the industry's most advanced protection by utilizing a cloud-native approach that combines AI, machine learning (ML), security automation, and human intelligence to create a cybersecurity solution that proactively hunts, detects and helps neutralize advanced threats before they can impact your organization.

RED ALERT: The LA School system was hacked over the holiday weekend! The Los Angeles Unified School District was suffering from major technical issues Monday after it was subjected to an external cyberattack over the weekend, their district officials confirmed. Current reports label this cyberattack as "likely criminal in nature". Read more on this attack here: https://hubs.la/Q01lSmvv0
While we don’t have any additional information information on this particular cyberattack at this point – this is a startling representation of how real the problem is for organizations in the K-12 and Secondary Education sectors. In fact, a recent report from Check Point Research shows that the #1, most attacked, industry in 2021 was the Education sector (SOURCE). School districts face many challenges when it comes to cybersecurity protection; leading the list is a lack of technical resources and human analysts to address the problem, leaving the organizations highly vulnerable to attack. Cyber criminals are hyper aware of these vulnerabilities within the education space, and as Check Point's report shows, the bad guys are winning.
Managed eXtended Detection & Response (MXDR) from Securus360 is the industry's most effective cybersecurity solution that delivers threat visibility across your entire infrastructure. Securus360 utilizes a cloud-native approach that combines AI, machine learning (ML), security automation, and human intelligence to provide a cyber defense solution that proactively hunts, detects and neutralizes advanced threats BEFORE they can impact your organization.
